“I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.”
— Clemence Poésy (via thoughtkick)
Don’t say maybe if you want to say no.
Paulo Coelho (via meineluft)
You shouldn't have to be your parents therapist.
You are not responsible for their mood swings. You shouldn't have to spend your days struggling to keep the peace between them. You shouldn't have to put all your energy into avoiding conflict.
They shouldn't make their emotional problems yours to deal with.
You shouldn't have to suffer for their bad days.
You are their child. You shouldn't have to he more mature than them.
They are the ones who signed up to take care of and raise you, not the other way around.
“And maybe it is only by finding yourself that you can feel the true intensity of becoming close to another person.”
— David Levithan, The Realm of Possibility (via meineluft)
Maybe the sun is just another form of a void, but instead of emptiness, all you feel is burning.

Don't put anybody above yourself. Yes, be selfish because at the end of the day, you are the only person who is going to be with you till the end.
Seek your own support.
Become self-reliant.
Become stronger.
Care for yourself because no one else is going to do that for you
Become your own hero/heroine.
LOVE YOURSELF
